James Thellusson has written for The Oldie and blogs regularly for several magazines. He went to St Paul’s School, London and then York University to read English Literature. After a spell as a journalist, he went into PR. James is a father, husband and bemused Boomer, whose alter ego Man in the Middle blogs against the demands of family life. The spark for this book was lit when he found his old school reports in the attic during the first Covid lock down.
